Just make sure you bring the right documents. Turns out the "Birth Certificate" I have been using for decades was not an official one. So I had to get that one before I could proceed. Once I had all the proper documents, I was in and out in 30 minutes or less.

Great Park, Lots To Do…read more This is a great park for kids. Unique park with unique activities and them makes for a good day to play. Treehouse theme is cool and they have some good slides for the kiddos. There is also a walk at path that goes somewhere, but I have gone far down it yet. Across the road is a tank, helicopter and plane or so I am told as well. Parking can be tricky on a weekend as it gets packed and a spaces are limited. Nice park with mostly friendly people.

The Imagination Station playground is a beautifully designed park. I took my niece there and…read morethere's lots of things to do. They have one pavilion that has picnic tables so if it isn't rented out you can use. There are a few benches near the park but on a hot day shade is minimal. I like that they have a variety of climbing objects, plenty of swings, including the two in one where you can have a baby in a baby swing while you're in a adult one. It's a decent sized playground so plus the parking situation is pretty good. Not too hard to find parking.

Chattanooga is a nice town! Growing up, my family visited the Chattanooga Choo Choo frequently and…read moredined at the "fancy" Choo Choo restaurant, which was a rare dining experience for us. At that time annually a train would depart from Huntsville and make round trips to Chattanooga for folks to see the fall foliage from the trains. My sweet Grandma always wanted to take that train ride, and I don't recall if she did or not; however, I sure hope she did. As others mentioned the Chattanooga Aquarium is a good one! It's fun to view the one location where you can see seven states atop Lookout Mountain! I still fondly recall the Kid Rock show I attended at McKenzie Arena in Chattannoga! There is a lot of history in Chattannoga! From Trail of Tears landmarks to prominent Civil War landmarks. Chatanooga truly does offer something for everyone!

I can't tell you how many relatives and friends moved to Tennessee. I've got lots of family in Chattanooga. Recently my aunt and uncle moved to Chattanooga because their children didn't want them to be alone in Georgia. They rented a very nice apartment for 18 month lease! The landlord even held it vacant for two months while they were in the process of moving. That's Tennessee folks for you. I'm posting photos of their home. You can see my uncle in one looking gruntled about getting in the photo. I love their space and the look of their housing community. I believe it's gated. My aunt and uncle are in their 80's but still drive. You have to have a car in Chattanooga. They do have a convenient parking space near the apartment. I'm recommending you retire to a nice size city like Chattanooga!

A flag pole went up within two weeks and money was raised for what you see here. Chattanooga stood strong during and after this event but will not be forgotten.
